NEW YORK (CBS) – A Boston College senior was struck and killed while crossing a street on the Upper East Side of New York City on Thursday, CBS New York reported.

Kelly Gordon, 22, who is from New Jersey, was first struck by a cab that was traveling southbound. The impact threw her into oncoming traffic and she was hit by a second cab in the northbound lanes, police said.

Gordon was reportedly staying in the city with her sister while she went on job interviews.
